Mimesis Player Enhancement

Warning — use at your own risk. Mods change how the game runs; things can break. Only download MelonLoader from melonwiki.xyz. If you do not trust a pre-built DLL, build from source on GitHub.

Alpha — under heavy development. This plugin is not finished and things may not work as expected. Please report bugs and share feedback via GitHub issues.

One plugin for MIMESIS multiplayer: more players, more mimic voices, voice persistence, join-anytime (letting friends join an active lobby - they wait in the tram until the current run ends), statistics, spawn/loot/money scaling, dungeon tweaks, mimic possession tuning, a web dashboard, and more — with a single config file instead of juggling separate mods.

Tested with MIMESIS 0.3.0 and MelonLoader 0.7.3.

Install

Mod manager (recommended)

Install through r2modman, Gale, or another Thunderstore client. The MelonLoader dependency is pulled in automatically.

Manual

1. Install MelonLoader 0.7.3+ on your MIMESIS Steam copy.
2. Extract this package and copy MimesisPlayerEnhancement.dll and the MimesisPlayerEnhancement/ folder into <MIMESIS>/Mods/.
3. Start the game once.

Remove older separate mods (MorePlayers, More Voices, MimesisPersistence, JoinAnytime, MoreMimics) if you still have them — this mod replaces them.

Features

Inspired by community mods like MorePlayers from NeoMimicry, MoreVoices from Risikus, MimesisPersistence from JoanR, and MimesisJoinAnytime from Shlygly. Thanks for your ideas and initial work :)

Web dashboard

While the game is running, the mod serves a browser dashboard by default — a companion web UI so you do not have to dig through config files for every tweak. Open http://127.0.0.1:8001/ (default address and port). Set EnableWebDashboard = false in config to disable it.

The dashboard is not only for admin actions. From the same interface you can:

• Global Settings (header) — edit default mod config anytime, even before joining a session; saved to UserData/MimesisPlayerEnhancement.cfg.
• Settings (in-game nav, host only) — per-save-slot overrides stored sparsely as Save/{SteamID}/MMGameData{N}.mpe-overrides.sav; values that match global are removed automatically.
• View statistics — session leaderboard and per-player stats when Statistics is enabled.
• Use the minimap — live dungeon layout and player positions during a run.
• Moderate the lobby — kick, ban, and unban players (host only).

By default the dashboard listens on loopback only (127.0.0.1). See the GitHub README for LAN binding and security notes.

Config

After the first launch:

<MIMESIS>/UserData/MimesisPlayerEnhancement.cfg

Edit anytime; most changes apply fully after a restart. Each feature has its own TOML section and master toggle.

Full config reference, build instructions, and contribution guide: GitHub README.

Support

This mod is not a quick patch — it merges several community mods into one maintained package and adds a lot of original work on top: Harmony patches across the game, a web dashboard, session statistics, spawn/loot/money scaling, dungeon tweaks, and ongoing compatibility testing with new MIMESIS releases. That takes a lot of dedicated time to build, debug, and keep working.

If you enjoy playing with it and want to say thanks, a small donation is genuinely appreciated (but never required):

The mod stays free and open source either way.

Hint: this mod is still in Alpha - use at your own risk! These updates can break things that worked before. Still needs extensive testing. In case of any errors please create an issue: https://github.com/Kandru/mimesis-player-enhancements/issues

26.7.7

• improved the loot allow/deny list to be searchable
• properly scale the max scrap value in case of high-value loot due to allow/deny list
• allow the host to delete (offline) users from a savegame
• only add fully connected players to the savegame
• webinterface now uses dropdown for settings which only allow a few possible values instead of text boxes
• better translations to point the player into the right direction
• better debug messages
• removed a testing-value for RouteRetryInterval and set it to a fixed value
• webinterface now uses the browsers language instead of the game language
• renaming MoneyMultiplier feature to Economy
• adding the ability to retain unspend currency between maintenance visits
• draft: add quick-presets to the configuration (still needs tuning and extensive testing!)
• draft: configurable periodic spawn wait (Vanilla / Fixed / Random seconds) for initial delay and wave interval; spawn multipliers no longer shorten wave periods (still needs tuning and extensive testing!)
• draft: host-only Weather feature — fixed/cycle presets, random-roll stripping, start-time presets, real-time config apply (still needs tuning and extensive testing!)
• draft: added godmode and noclip (still needs proper testing!)
• draft: add the ability to change the mimic voice behaviour
• draft: webinterface & features are now refactored properly (still needs tuning and extensive testing!)

26.7.6

• added translations

• exclude crow shop detox from loot duplication
• player-count auto scaling (Spawn Scaling, Loot Multiplicator, Economy) now uses a configurable rate per extra player above 4 (default +10% instead of the old +25% / players / 4 curve); set SpawnScalingPlayerCountScaleRate, LootMultiplicatorPlayerCountScaleRate, or EconomyPlayerCountScaleRate to 0.25 to restore the previous curve
• draft: properly rename lobby when saved via the save button (and properly load when savegame is being loaded). Same for the lobby public type
• draft: extended spectator death player list (just for testing currently. May gets removed).
